Thanks for the clarification.  I find that character in (surely not an
exhaustive list):
889 $ grep ó from*

Ó   Ú

Your desktop is probably using UTF-8 (IBM-1208).  Will an editor such as 
Notepad++
give you such information?

UTF-8 is a multi-byte character set, so SBDATACONN   (IBM-1047,IBM-1208) is
not legal.  I don't know whether MBDATACONN   (IBM-1047,IBM-1208) is supported.

Sooner or later you're likely to encounter  characters not all in any single 
SBCS code
page; there's no one that works for all.

If the objective is merely to store the data on the z as opaque data,
SBDATACONN (IBM-1047,IBM-819) would make the round trip, desktop -> z -> desktop
without loss of information.  But it would be illegible on the z.

I took a guess from your return address and looked at https://www.courts.wa.gov/
where I see:
    TRANSLATIONS
    中文形式/Chinese
    한국어서류/Korean
    Pусский/Russian
    Español/Spanish
    Tiếng Việt/Vietnamese

How many of those do you need to support?

Is UTF-EBCDIC a possibility?  (Others here would know better than I.)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-EBCDIC

What's the CCSID of UTF-EBCDIC?  Does FTP support UTF-EBCDIC?
